    Crazy idea:

    If copyright was invented to prevent printers from scooping authors’ work and out-competing them for sales…

    Maybe copyright should only apply if you’re trying to compete with the author?

    So like, not if you’re just a lowly individual trying to keep up with the references all of society is making, or understand the world you live in.
